1. Convert 35.40 kilograms to grams (g).

• A. 354 g
• B. 35,400 g
• C. 3,540 g
• D. 3.54 g

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 35.40 kg × 1,000 = 35,400 grams. Choice A (354 g) is incorrect because it is off by a factor of 10. Choice C (3,540 g) is incorrect as it is off by a factor of 100. Choice D (3.54 g) is incorrect as it represents kilograms instead of grams.

2. What is the equivalent of 0.3 mg in ml?

• A. 0.3 ml
• B. 3 ml
• C. 30 ml
• D. 0.03 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.3 ml. To convert milligrams (mg) to milliliters (ml), you typically need the substance's density. However, in many medical contexts, especially with liquid medications similar in density to water, 0.3 mg is commonly assumed to be equivalent to 0.3 ml. Choice B (3 ml) is incorrect as it is 10 times greater than the correct conversion. Choice C (30 ml) is incorrect as it is 100 times greater than the correct conversion. Choice D (0.03 ml) is incorrect as it is one-tenth of the correct conversion.

3. How many ounces is equal to 1 gram?

• A. 0.015 ounces
• B. 0.035 ounces
• C. 0.045 ounces
• D. 0.055 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to ounces, you need to multiply the weight in grams by 0.035 to get the equivalent weight in ounces. Therefore, 1 gram is equal to 0.035 ounces. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect conversions and do not accurately represent the conversion factor from grams to ounces.

4. The metric prefix of Tera is abbreviated as T- and has a value of 10^12. What does Tera mean numerically?

• A. 10^6
• B. 10^9
• C. 10^12
• D. 10^3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 10^12. Tera represents a numerical value of 10^12, which is equivalent to one trillion. It is commonly used in computing and other fields to denote large-scale measurements. Choice A, 10^6, is incorrect as it corresponds to the metric prefix 'Mega.' Choice B, 10^9, is incorrect and corresponds to the metric prefix 'Giga.' Choice D, 10^3, is incorrect and corresponds to the metric prefix 'Kilo.' Therefore, the correct interpretation of the metric prefix Tera is 10^12.

5. Convert 0.29 pounds to ounces.

• A. 2.9 ounces
• B. 4.64 ounces
• C. 29 ounces
• D. 46.4 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds to ounces, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Multiplying 0.29 pounds by 16 gives you 4.64 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (2.9 ounces) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound. Choice C (29 ounces) and Choice D (46.4 ounces) are incorrect because they incorrectly interpret the conversion from pounds to ounces.
